Do you know what your children and grandchildren are being taught in school?
- One Virginia school system’s “anti-racism” policy pressured students to see them themselves as either racist or oppressed.
- A Wisconsin school was caught with secret plan to “transition” a gender-confused high schooler against her parent’s wishes.
Are you confident and equipped in your rights as a parent to face these dangerous ideologies and the threats they could present to your child’s wellbeing?
